Pretty Consort: Prince, Don’t Run away - C156

Just as she was feeling puzzled, she saw two maidservants walking by, and they seemed to need to pour water.

“Wait a moment!” She quickly stopped the two maids and asked: “Where is the Ministry Councillor Liu?”

After thinking for a moment, they shook their heads and said, “Yesterday, when that person came, he said that this place was not good and asked to change rooms. The servants have reported to report that the prince has already moved him to the western courtyard.”

The western courtyard had always been empty, but it was also used to entertain guests.

“He hasn’t come?” Xi Mengyao felt that it was a little strange.

If he didn’t like this place before, he would have brought people to greet him. That person also looked like an old martial artist, so he wouldn’t be rude to this kind of thing.

Hearing those words, the maidservants were also somewhat puzzled and nodded their heads.

“When that person came over, he originally wanted to come over, but I don’t know what he saw. When he arrived at the door, he refused to go in, and the servants even tried to persuade him.”

When Ministry Councillor Liu came over, he was making a ruckus. They had no other choice but to report it to the butler.

At that time, the butler was not in the mood to care about this matter, and in the end, decided on his own. He first took him away before reporting to Song Chongjing.

“If wangfei doesn’t like it, why don’t the servants get someone to bring him here immediately?” Seeing that her expression wasn’t good, the maidservants tried to ask.

Xi Mengyao shook her head lightly, “Forget it, he can live wherever he wants.”

She waved back.

“You guys can leave. There’s no need to care about this place, there’s no need to come here to clean.” After saying that, she walked back inside. After taking two steps, she turned back and said, “That’s right, if you meet anyone else, you don’t have to tell them I’m here.”

“Yes.”

The maidservants were very obedient, lowering their heads without asking any questions.

They did not want to anger this wangfei. Although they thought this way, they could not help but take another glance at her actions. It was truly strange.

At this time, Xi Mengyao had actually already entered the courtyard.

“Will there be any problems?” one of them asked.

“Who knows? If anything happens, he’ll just leave us alone and pretend he didn’t see us!” The other person also came to an understanding and left as if nothing had happened.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a person came out of the fake mountain. He looked over and saw that the yard was as usual, so he yawned, leaned on the willow tree next to the fake mountain, and half-closed his eyes and dozed off.

As for Xi Mengyao, when she entered, she immediately noticed that the interior seemed to be very different from the state she was in when she left.

The furnishings were all messed up.

She wandered around the house a few times.

Only now did he realize that this room seemed to have been searched by someone a few times.

Everything in the house was in chaos, the blankets on the floor were all torn apart. Those people seemed to be looking for something, and when she looked carefully, she found traces of burning incense in the house.

“Who is it? Do you have any ideas?” Xi Mengyao said to herself.

The person who burned the incense was very careful. He covered everything up to make it look like he was burning incense. Normally, women’s houses would burn incense. If it was anyone else, they would not be able to see it.

However, Xi Mengyao did not burn incense.

Firstly, the smell of the incense she despised was too strong, and the Calm Incense had caused her to be unable to sleep well. Secondly, her heart had some concerns. After all, she always felt that this wooden structure would lead to a fire.

He didn’t want to have such a small habit, but it caused the group of people to miss an opening.

Thinking of this, she furrowed her brows as she went back to look for it. In the end, she discovered two clear footprints in the corner of the window.

There was more than one footprint, but the clearest was from one person. The footprints were about the size of her forearm. From the looks of it, this person was quite tall. He should be a nine-foot tall man.

A person with such huge feet …

Xi Mengyao searched her mind, but she couldn’t find a suitable candidate.

She silently noted down the footprints. Then, she noticed that they were very light. It seemed that her martial arts skills were not low either …

As she thought about it, she followed the footprints and discovered that there were no more footsteps by the window. It seemed as if she had immediately jumped out of the window after reaching the window.

She stuck her head out the window and saw that there was still some blood on the outside. From the looks of it, he must have been injured.

Could it be that there was a battle going on inside?

While she was thinking, she went back into the house to take a closer look. Unfortunately, it was too chaotic here, so even if there was something inside, she wouldn’t be able to figure it out.

After she couldn’t find anything else, she followed suit.

When she went out, she deliberately looked around, but there was no one left and right. This time, she didn’t notice the man sleeping soundly under the willow tree beside the fake mountain.

“Princess?”

After Xi Mengyao left the room, she went into a daze.

She turned around and saw that it was the manager of the mansion. After thinking for a bit, she coughed and ordered someone to bring her to the place where the two were imprisoned yesterday.

The place where the two were being held was in the prison of the prefecture.

It wasn’t used often, and it had been empty for a long time. Now, it was specially cleaned for the two of them.

The air inside wasn’t good, so Xi Mengyao immediately covered her nose.

The two men squatted miserably in the corner of the cell. They seemed to be in a bad mood.

Upon seeing this, she laughed coldly, “Is this prison not well?”

Hearing her voice, the two men immediately looked up. Although their situation was bleak, their reactions were not slow at all.

After seeing Xi Mengyao, the two of them immediately turned their heads to the side and sneered: “You demon girl, there’s no need to talk about other things. Even your Duke did not find out anything, and to you, we are even less willing to speak!”

“I haven’t even spoken a word, yet you all are already talking about this. It seems like you all really have something up your sleeves. You’re just afraid that I might ask you something.”

Xi Mengyao was not the least bit angry, she smiled calmly, and after she finished speaking, she even yawned faintly, as if she had just woken up.

She walked slowly to their door.

The cell was made out of iron bars. It was more sturdy and safe than an ordinary prison.

When the two saw that she had arrived, they wanted to go over as well. However, after thinking about it, they retreated to a corner as if they didn’t want her to see them.

After Xi Mengyao saw this, she said uninterested: “What are you afraid of, it’s just that you guys are here to look for me. If there’s really something, even if you guys have so many people, I’m afraid you won’t be able to avoid it.”

She smiled and stood outside, stretching her arms. Then she looked at them and smiled and said nothing more.

That unfathomable appearance made the two people in the cell feel apprehensive.

They were already inside, so they didn’t know what was going on outside. Whether or not their mission was completed, they did not know.

Seeing Xi Mengyao not panicking, the unease in her heart grew.
